Sawyer pushed open the office door and entered, holding a phone. He looked at Alex behind the desk and said. “It’s a call from Silverstone Hospital about the public welfare medical examination activity we conducted last month. They are asking if we want to continue the next session.”

Alex, who was originally reading a contract, took the phone handed over by Sawyer.

Aether Corporation had put a lot of effort into public welfare recently for the sake of the company’s

Alex nonchalantly responded with an ‘mmhmm‘, but the person continued. “There’s quite a conflict between family members this time. It has escalated to the point of calling the police.”

The person on the other end paused for a moment and continued, “Speaking of this patient, your uncle was the surgeon back then. The old man was recovering quite well originally but suddenly

“Go on.”

After arguing for a while, Ivor and Yvonne were brought into the office by hospital security.

The outside voices gradually quieted down. Candice leaned over her grandfather’s bedside, staring blankly at the elderly man who seemed to be peacefully asleep.

She continuously rubbed the hand placed by the bed. The warmth of her grandfather’s skin was fading away, and the last trace of warmth gradually dissipated. Regardless of how she kneaded, his hand remained cold.
